QB Brock Purdy Thread

I would give Brock a 10 year deal with an out after 6 years. That way you can keep restructuring his contract every season to keep the cap low. Look at what the Chiefs did with Mahomes,He's into like year 6 of his contract and I don't think his cap hit has ever been high because every year they keep restructuring it. You can't do that with a short-term contract. There is no wiggle room. It's why Dak's cap hit was like 50+ Million last season.

The Mahomes deal was a work around for COVID. The Chiefs promised Mahomes that once the league lifted COVID protocols related to the cap, they would redo his deal bring his contract inline with the top contracts. They did that. On September 18th, 2023, the Chiefs restructured Mahomes' contract, moving 43.3M from the final 4 years to pay out over 2023-26. It basically turned his contract into a 5-year top-market contract, setting up an extension in 2028. 264.75M/5 has a total contract AAV of 52.95M. The top-5 total contract AAVs are Allen (55M), Dak (53.8M), Lamar (52M), Goff (48.1M), and Tua (47.1M). His 4-year cashflow is 208.1M with escalators that caps out at 218M. That was passed by Dak last year (219M) and Allen this year (220M).

Dak's cap hit is a product of the Cowboys not taking care of him in 2019. Dak wanted to reset the market with a 35-38M AAV contract. Jerry didn't want to commit to Dak with that kind of money, so they tagged him for 31M. The CBA happened and Mahomes signed that 10-year extension. The next year, Watson got an extension. Dak trades some cash for a 2nd franchise tag, no tag, and no trade clause. Those concessions influenced the 2024 negotiations.

As for giving Brock a Mahomes-like 10-year extension, the QB market was stagnating around an extension AAV of 33-35M when the Chiefs gave Mahomes 45M. Right now, extension AAVs are around 53-55M, so an equivalent contract would be like 707M/10yr.

Yeah, I agree. Ive said it a bunch on here but some just don't get it. Franchise tag is a desperation tool - not a value tool. It's dumb as hell to use it and if it gets there - might as well trade Brock, cause the financial situation is just going to get worse. IMO.

The way I see it is extend him or trade him, but some want Jed to turn this into a Jerry/Dan Snyder circus organization

Funny thing is we're talking in circles here about extreme cases and there has been nothing reported from either side that this deal is in any way contentious or in danger of not getting done.

I honestly think the deal is going to get done much sooner than later. I think both parties want it done and will be rational about it.

I don't see any reason this would drag on like the previous ones unless we are either low balling badly or Brock is demanding record breaking numbers.

im very optimistic this will happen. I'm excited about it - I think Brock will get better and the team will rebound.

Yea sir. Daks fiasco was poor management by the cowboys. Jerry should of expected the cap to explode and that it would just get more expensive.

it's hard to find an even above average qb in this league. Either accept what you have and compete or move on and try to find something else. Doing what they tried was very risky and financially irresponsible and I loved it cause I hate the cowboys.

I HOPE Brock signs a 5-year extension, min. Ideally a 6 year extension. That would lock him up for 6-7 years.

The Dak fiasco has was fun to witness, just terrible management over there and I love every bit of it. . It wasn't just risky..it was really stupid. Bwahaha.

Great stuff man!

If Lynch just sang this to Purdy, we'd already have our QB signed.

Even though I am hard on purdy, it's impossible not to love him as a person and the work he puts in. I can see why his teammates love him and follow him.

that would be the richest deal in 49er history

one thing schefter raised is the team control scenario

he lays it out here, courtesy NBC Sports:

"I think Brock Purdy certainly could [make $50 million per year], but that's a question if they get that deal done," Schefter said on "The Pat McAfee Show." "Brock Purdy obviously is going to want to get a deal and the Niners would want to get a deal done, but the issue is he's scheduled to make $5.1 million this season. He then could be tagged after next season for $41 million. He could be tagged the season after that for $51 million. So if you don't get a deal done with Brock Purdy, and you're the Niners, and again this would not be what Brock Purdy would want I imagine, he would play for $5 million this year, $41 next year, $51 the year after.

"You're talking about $97-plus million over the next three years, which for most people would be incredible money -- but not for a quarterback who's waiting to get paid. So the Niners have a bit of a cap issue, a cash issue, so they can't put Brock Purdy necessarily where he might be. They can go to a certain level where they'd want to pay him, but it's not going to be, I'd imagine, quite as high as most people think."

this involves playing 2025 on 5 mil, and then tagged 2x. he views this as 3 years $97m, which is $32m aav. that's some of the club leverage. i have a hard time seeing any nfl team paying brock 40m aav or more. i only see 1 or 2 teams without their QB1 right now, and that's pre draft where there will be more entering. jobs are pretty much all filled.

For the owners, the "threat" of it is great business. It's virtually 100% team-beneficial and the threat of it will almost certainly get us a better deal with Brock.

The idea originated from team owners, specifically Pat Bowlen, the owner of the Denver Broncos, who wanted a way to retain key players like John Elway while allowing free agency to proceed. It was initially referred to as the "Elway Rule."

NFL players initially resisted the idea of the franchise tag when it was introduced in 1993. During negotiations for free agency and the salary cap, players were concerned that the tag would limit their ability to explore the open market and secure long-term contracts. While the franchise tag guaranteed a high salary for one year, many players viewed it as a tool that primarily benefited team owners by restricting player movement.

Ultimately, the franchise tag was accepted as part of the broader collective bargaining agreement (CBA), which included free agency—a major win for players. However, the tag has remained controversial, with many players continuing to criticize it for limiting their financial security and career flexibility.

Everything's not black and white. Being upset about your team taking advantage of leverage they may have is very suspect; do you want them to WIN? Or do you simply want to see a favorite player or 2 every weekend, and you're satisfied with that?
